There is a great Pop/Rock band I love. They are called Cinder Road and they are bringing back an 'arena rock' sound similar to Motely Crue, Poision, Areosmith etc. They are really talented and you can check them out at -Edit-
I'd love to hear what you think of them

I always took the word pop more literally to be of the in genre at the time, whatever that is.
Then there is the basic band with the beginning, middle and end along with mostly (but not always) 3 part harmony that is more of an offshoot of pop, however it comes out.
Even though it would be hard to look at some of those bands as pop.
Especially The Doors.
Pop is supposed to be such an unflattering term, but all pop is really is music that moved out of the countraculture. At least over the last 40 years.
There is stuff now that would have sounded pretty wild 20 years that is generalized as pop. Maybe even 10 years ago.
I just think of 2 basic musical categories, music or muzak.
Wherever that falls depends on ones tastes.

A real great Pop/Rock artist is Patrick Droney. Real heavy, dextrous guitar riffs with catchy hooks and lots of power.

The Beatles are classed as Pop/Rock and their early songs "A Hard Days Night" and "Any Time At All" are classed as Power Pop. It was because they were melody driven music instead of blues influenced music. Many groups were merging Pop/Rock also The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and some of the Doors stuff is Pop/Rock. The Doors "Touch Me" is certainly Pop/Rock.

Well the most pop, from the rock is Lordies - come on, they win the international pop festival)) that's a lot like a proud-scary combo
And a side from the jokes - I think those guys are pretty good for listening:
